Zoom is “smarter” than it has ever been.
As leaders prepare long-term remote work strategies, conference calls and webinars on Zoom will have a live captioning released by Otter.ai. 🖥️
This new update will make virtual meetings for remote workers more efficient- allowing you to not only hear people but see what they are saying spelled out in front of you.
Zoom 🖥️ has become essential as people and organizations come to grips with stay-at-home orders. This captioning capability has been available in beta mode and used at the Deaf-Hearing Communication Centre for 7 months.
There is a diverse set of individuals in the world, including those who are deaf and hard-of-hearing, who will benefit from this update.
Now, Zoom gives increased accessibility to each person using their service. Accessibility isn’t about simply providing a monitor or using an auto-captioning service- it’s a wrap-around service that enables the employee to provide the best service for their employer.
Managers should leverage collaboration tools to improve employee engagement and assess how they can help improve employees’ home/work environment.
